only it took you dumb fucks 39 days to figure it out.
- In fairness, so did a large portion of Americans. Unfortunately, half of us are dumb as fuck and still won’t believe it.

Got em!

We knew this during his first term.
- Putin was still pretending he wasn't going to start a global war before he died, that time though
- Yeah but they were hampered by pesky laws and rules last time

The neutered arm of the government should remain quiet about the ‘arm of Kremlin’ until they decide to actually do something about it.
- Saying the emperor has no clothes (or his clothes are made in Moscow) is the first step in doing something about it. If we all keep quiet and just go along with authoritarianism, then the fight will be over before it starts.
  
  Soooo…. What about the past decades where we weren’t quiet?

Keep it up and it will be the leg too.

It is an arm of the US aristocracy

NO SHIT SHERLOCK to ∞ and beyond.

And now his dod chief says they are discontinuing the US cyber operations against Russia.

So, fucking do something about it.
- Not too much can be done, since a ton of the country sat with their thumbs up their asses instead of voting. Republicans control all three branches of government now.
  In two years, after permanent damage has been done to the government, the climate, and the economy, we may have another shot at at least slowing things down via Congress IF people actually vote for sane people.
  And in four, potentially a new presidency and Congress. But that could be dicy, since there's going to be little stopping corrupt officials from screwing with democratic safeguards now that the government is teeming with freaks and degenerates under its skin.
  Aside from lawsuits from Democrats, I think the federal government is going to be in complete freefall for the next two years, bare minimum. Thanks fascists and nonvoters. You really fucked the entire world this time. Fucking malicious idiots.
  
  Because over half of this country has been convinced that acting against their own interests is in their own interests as long as they "win" some fantasy game. "We showed them!"
  
  They can vocally and actively criticize the DNC leadership for being controlled opposition. Bernie is doing it, why isn’t everyone else?
  
  In two years there might not be elections.
  Is your plan to just lay down and die?
  
  A lone voice of reason. Everyone wants to be lazy in November then expect the people who have no power to do something for them in March.
  Talk about passing the buck.
- Got any suggestions?
  
  I do, some less savory ones but the "correct" ones are to unite and help, via a grassroots movement to mobilize the population. Show solidarity, and help groups organize to defend democracy.
  
  Ever notice how when democrats are in power you never catch republicans being like “well what are we supposed to do?” They do absolutely everything in their power to continue to push their agendas. The Democrats and other liberals should stop being big useless babies and actually DO WHAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO IDK
  
  We're in this mess because First Past The Post (FPTP) voting inherently results in a two-party system, which in turn creates polarization and extremism.
  To create lasting, meaningful change we need to move away from FPTP to Rank Choice (my preference) or Proportional Representation. Thankfully, the voting process is determined at the local level (state, county, or city depending on your location) which means the goons taking over the federal government will have a much more difficult time resisting this change.
  We need people in local governments pushing for this change. Once we're off FPTP a lot of other changes are going to be easier to make.
  
  We all have suggestions, but we get banned for saying them. So, instead of trying to get people banned, maybe suggest your own solutions.
  
  See my comment elsewhere in this thread for my response to a similar question asked in a different way.

- It's all theatrics.

Cold War cosplay reaches Senate floor as Murphy rebrands DC as Little Moscow.

That pee tape must be fucking bonkers.
- Any blackmail tape doesn't explain everyone else also following in step.
  
  Remember when the DNC emails got hacked and released? They weren't the only party who got hacked.
  
  He's best friends with some tabloid mogul, there's a safe full of kompromat on every right-wing nutjob that ever got anywhere, I bet.
- It must be a poo tape
- It has to be something embarrassing to ivanka. Not him fucking her since he would be proud of that, but something else.
  Anything else? That is fake news blah blah don't worry he raped her after.
  
  Lol, no. He only cares about himself.

“And what are you gonna do about it?” - Putin, probably

The Kremlin House

The Republicans are total ghouls, no doubt. But they are consistent on the matter of Russia. They support the Israelis as they're doing their atrocities, while supporting Russia. The Democrats are schizo on the matter, supporting the Israelis while they brutalize the occupied Palestinians, while pretending to be anti-colonial when it comes to Russia.

  True. They are all traitors.
